Machine 2: "In the Style Of"
Machine 2 builds reimagines the work designers addressed in the previous iteration, "Move It", however in this iteration designers will engage in discourse with an exemplar of iconic designer of their choice, from any field, translating and mapping the design language of the exemplar to their machine, In Machine 2: "In The Style Of", the entire machine is re-imagined as a whole composition, in which the the mechanism and the motion of the OGH are brought into new balance. In this iteration, designers may choose to make changes to both the motion of the OGH and the mechanism they instantiated in Machine 1.
Materials: Honeycomb cardboard, Duron, glue, dowels, bushings, fasteners, and other materials as needed
Processes: hand sketching, band saw, table saw, drill press, and other processes as needed
Why:
second iteration of many iterations of Machines in ME 102
studying and applying the design language of an iconic designer from diverse fields
discovery of properties of materials, form, motion,
understanding how same prompt can yield radically different outcomes
understanding how informed iteration can build depth, nuance, and engagement
